In my travels, I have found a bit of sterling flatware, mostly spoons.
Last month I came across a sterling Tiffany soup spoon, circa 1910, seen here.
However, the spoon I found this week needs it's own thread.
It's a Danish porridge spoon dated 1769. I found it at my local antique mall for $10.
It's not marked sterling, but it was tested and found to be sterling. It weighs 208.5 grams.
According to the marks, the maker is most likely Hans Christian Boyer, who was active around 1778. I don't know why the inscription days 1769, perhaps a post-date to mark some event.
Look at how huge this thing is!
(I must give credit to the lovely and knowledgeable antiquer Cheryl on another forum for all her help in researching this spoon.)
